Max Tire size on 1994 960

Post by moodyblue426 »

My 1994 960 factory wheels are 195 65 R 15 (15x 6 wheel) and I was wondering if I could go up to a 16" tire specifically 205 55R 16? I want the Columba rims that were used on the S70 T5s/ Anyone know if these will fit or will they cause problems?
Thanks

Others may chime in, but, a 205/55R-16 on a 16 x 6.5 wheel is standard on some 740 and 940 cars. The outside diameter of the 195/65R-15 and 205/55R-16 are nearly identical.
